Army Green Canvas Messenger Bag, December 5, 2007
This review is from: Maxam Brand Canvas Messenger Bag (Apparel)
Army Green Canvas Messenger Bag HandbagA nice bag for me to use when I am running my errands on the weekend. I like the zippered pockets, and I also like the fact the bag is lightweight and not bulky. I like it because it also can go over my shoulder. It was also a nice price.

makes a great purse, but not a messenger bag, May 13, 2008
This review is from: Maxam Brand Canvas Messenger Bag (Apparel)
This is definitely a purse, and not a messenger bag. This is coming from somebody who considers most "purses" nowadays to be too big to count as a purse. That said, I love this bag. I wasn't sure about getting it because I didn't see any really good reviews on it, but I finally got it anyway because of the good price. It replaced a vintage gas mask bag that I had been using as a purse until it broke.
As another reviewer said, this really is a basic bag. It has one main compartment, a roomier front compartment, and a slim zippered back pocket. The main compartment has two pockets, one of which fits a cell phone perfectly. The other is a bit bigger and I put my receipts in it. The zippered back pocket is too slim to put anything other than paper in it - it fits a full sheet of paper folded in half "hamburger style" very nicely. I keep my iPod in the front pocket, but it is easily big enough for more. I had a hard time figuring out how big this bag would end up being, so hopefully my references will help you.
My favorite part of this purse though is the fact that it has zippers. Unlike a clasp or drawstring, it is actually secure. The front, main, and back compartments are all zippered shut. I haven't had any problems with the quality of the bag, and I'm not easy on them. The strap is very adjustable, but it does stay in place once you adjust it. It might not if you put a lot of weight in the purse, but it isn't meant for a lot of weight. This bag is not for carrying around your office or school supplies. That said, if you treat it as a purse it will fulfill if not exceed all your expectations.

Messenger Bag, May 21, 2008
This review is from: Maxam Brand Canvas Messenger Bag (Apparel)
I bought this bag after reading the previous reviews. One review scared me because I was afraid if I purchased this bag it would not turn out to be what I expected. But I read the others it convinced me to buy it.
I dont regret buying it. I love it. It is what the other positive remarks said, it is just perfect to put a book to read a small notebook. and it has two zipper bags. One at the outside back part and one in the front of main pocket. They are very useful to separate small items. I recommend it.
